What has Basit quoted you for a body off and are you going for one. Just to see if I can think of getting a body off resto for my Bug.

What color is your cousin's Bug and where can I see it. Tomorrow is a Sunday and Bug watching is my favorite passtime and who knows I might just fall for it.

@AsadIshaque - Dude I've lost your number lately, can you PM me as soon as you see my post.

@Sameer - How is it going buddy, I don't visit the forum often otherwise I would have updated you guys about me ride. I've been doing some work on it and will upload the pics as soon as I get enough time.

check this out, i'm sure few if any of us have ever seen a VW with such an interior,.. but they DID come from at least ONE factory with this configuration in 1986.

damn exams are on my head... time for me to go underground....

Had fun at the Saidpur village meet... Thanx everyone... especially the long time club members...

the good thing abt exams is that when they get over I am off and can give time to my beetle

@wasif
LOL!

@funky
hopefully when your exams are over you'll also be more inspired to run around in this heat. was great to once again see you at a VW meet and clearly your dedication has been noted

@ Storm! This is with the reference to the pic of the interior panel (Beetle '86), that 'Beetlish' style is missing from it. Don't know why but I will always go for the conventional one.

romano (romano) 2009-05-26 09:15:00 +0600 #3155

Horrible horrible Brazilian dashboard. Remember, form follows function, not the other way round.

Storm (Storm) 2009-05-26 21:09:00 +0600 #3156

@TM & Romano
i never said i liked it, i just said it was different,.. like the "mulholland look" beetles.

AsadIshaque (AsadIshaque) 2009-05-27 08:39:00 +0600 #3157

Hmm

The 86 beetle interior is something I have never seen. Yes I agree with people here that it does not suit the bug at all. Not even supers.


Yes *maybe* for the Mullholland looker wheich would have rectangle head lamps to complement all the rectangles/suares on the dash.....but then maybe is just a maybe.....

@ naveed rizvi

 Where did you get your hands on this postcard???? Or is it off the good ol' 'net??


I have some VW postcards as part of a collection of odds n ends. Most have been bought from the UK and some were gifted to me by Romano who also got them from Angraizland. Should get them scanned and post them here.


  Oh, You showed interest in my cousins bug......I dont think you would be interested as your bug has lesser bodywork than his. I would try to dig up a picture. I saw it somewhere....maybe on Romanos Picassa album.


 And yes Basit is expensive. He has quoted me 35k for a body off resto on the ragtop. And that includes all my own stuff, even new floorpans which were sourced from Pindi thanks to the efforts of Romano.


 The only other option for me is to send the car to Isb to Romanos denter, Babar ustaad. His work is simply superb but then i would be spending something over 20k for the to and from transportation upcountry alone. Denters labor would be additional.

Waiting for Basit to get back on his feet and shift the garage as he plans.

@ Naveed

   Yes....dug up the pic. Thats my cousins bug in the foreground, the one with the wheels and front drum off. It was having a brake service when snapped by Romanos camera. The 68 in the background is the car rescued by R and then passed onto Mohsin bhai.

  As you can see its in good shape overall apart from the dents on the fenders and the rear quarter panel. This was the accident damage I was talking about. It can be fixed easily and as you can see theres no damage to the frame whatsoever.

@ All

This bug is for sale for 50k. A reliable daily driver. Good for someone who wants a bug to drive around as is and go for a full resto at a later date. All taxes clear, in owners name who happens to be the second (or third at the most) owner.

Has good potential.
